“I’m delighted the association has honored our efforts,” said Richard Meade, vice president and chief legal officer for Prudential international law. “We’ve been committed to diversity for many years and remain dedicated to building and maintaining an inclusive and accepting culture within our department. Attracting and retaining diverse talent, building relationships with diverse professional associations and encouraging diversity among vendors and service providers is an integral part of talent management within LCBE.”
The top 25 diversity council winners will be honored at an awards ceremony during the second annual Diversity Council Conference on October 2.
To qualify for the award, council groups are required to have been in operation for at least two years and must demonstrate contributions and achievements in four categories: council results; management commitment; measurement and accountability; and communication and education. A panel of independent judges evaluated the applications. The award recipients include a diverse combination of U.S. corporations, government agencies and the military representing all sectors, geographies and organizational sizes.
